Safe for preschoolers to use Anise Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For preschoolers (ages 2-5), anise extract is usually low-risk for most health problems, but it can cause allergic skin reactions in some children. Because young children have sensitive skin, it should be used carefully.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains anise extract on a 2-5 year old: 1) do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use; 2) avoid applying it to broken skin, rashes, or near the eyes and mouth; 3) use it sparingly and not every day at first; 4) choose products made for children or labeled for sensitive skin when possible; 5) stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, itching or any new rash, and contact your child's pediatrician if the reaction is more than mild.
